Vision of the
Series: This series is meant to focus on interdisciplinary challenges and
solutions to homelessness in Los Angeles. The audience will be primarily
composed of students and faculty from the school’s three departments- Social
Welfare, Public Policy, and Urban Planning. We hope that this series can
educate and challenge the thinking of attendees on the complexity of
homelessness in our city.

Second Event in the Series: Skid Row Tour

In addition to the two panel events
leading up to the United Way HomeWalk, students will have the opportunity to
visit the St. Vincent’s Cardinal Manning Center and receive a tour of the
facility and a walking tour of Skid Row.

Where: St. Vincent’s
Cardinal Manning Center

Format: The day will
consist of an overview of the center and the history of Skid Row as well as a
walking tour of the area.

Please contact Martha Washo if you would like to participate in the Tour of Skid Row. To reserve your spot on the tour (including lunch and transportation to and from Skid Row), please give a payment of $10 to Dan Oyenoki in Public Policy. Your $10 will be returned to you after you finish the tour.
